More out of curiosity for me then anything else.

If the Flames fail to make the playoffs, leading to a long 6 to 7 months of no local hockey. What do you do? What do you do maaaann?

1) Do you follow the playoffs?

Are you there everynight, with breathless anticipation?
do you pick a temporary favorite team and go all in like Homer Simpson and the Isotopes? Do you buy a white long sleeved T-Shirt and use fabric pens to create a fake jersey crappy logo look?
Or do you become casual. You flip on the the TV and all that's on is reruns. But oh the Leafs are paying the Pens, you tune over and grumble that both teams suck and can't get the energy togther to manage a fist pump when a team scores
Eh, hockey's done for the year, I'm going to work on my (Some kind of hobby), binge watch (some random TV series), read a good book (Death of a salesman, bug uns magazine)

Are you going to come to the hockey board here or anywhere else all that of often?

I'm going to be here every day sumbytch, I'm going to let my voice be heard, participate in every mock trade thread, and have the site logged on throughout the playoffs and right through to August
Go to lurker mode on the hockey board side of things,
Flee, Flee for the virtual hills
Become a paid member of the Kardassian family of websites.
Go full born underground, where you limit your electronic signature because you realize that the NSA is monitoring this site and probably are going to dispatch small robots to shoot your face off 36 times and make it look like s suicide

Are you going to

Wait in breathless anticipation for free agency and the draft, buy every hockey magazine, go to as many stats sites as possible and create a needs list, while doing a mock draft with your buddies
Wake up one morning and go, oh its draft day, and put it on in the background as you work in your shop converting big blocks of wood to little blocks of wood, and little blocks of wood into sawdust.
Meh the (unamed summer sports franchise that I like) ain't that bad, and I can catch up on the draft news using this handy app later.
Pick up the paper the day after the draft and say So that's what happened?
Sometime in September go to the NHL site and the Flames roster and then stroke your chin knowingly while saying "Yes","No","uh huh" to no one in particular.
